Dialogues from Dickens.

"In Dickens, the choice between tea and coffee is often a choice between good and evil : “‘Tea is often (though not always) part of a comfortable and feminine ritual; coffee-drinking was seen as more vigorous and powerful, thanks perhaps to its caffeine boost, but also to its association with the coffee houses where men gathered to talk politics.’"

"Perhaps the most notorious coffee-drinker Dickens created is the fraudulent ‘telescopic philanthropist’ Mrs. Jellyby from Bleak House. Utterly immune to the plight of her own children (who are constantly falling down the stairs) or to the travails of sweepers like Jo, she spends all her time drinking strong coffee and supposedly promoting the welfare of Africans in a fictitious realm called Borrioboola-Gha. ‘She neglects her feminine role as mother and wife, whilst she writes coffee-fueled letters long into the night, to promote her coffee-growing charity,’ says Vogler.”

Wow, a 344 page forum all about coffee! Well, I'll put in my 2 cents:

I absolutely love Cafe Bustelo with my breakfast! I know it is a little harsh, but with food I have fallen in love with it. And it is dirt cheap!

I love all Puerto Rican coffees as they are far cheaper in price than Gevalia and others while having great flavor. Have you tried Rico Rico:
